In theory, yes. In practise, WotC is putting stuff like Magic Initiate (broken for casters) and Lightly Armored (broken for casters, ofc) into lv1 feats, so there went that consideration.That's the point. Some things are not appropriate for level 1 but are appropriate for level 4, 8, 12 etc.
Now the system is just making it pointlessly punishing to take any lv1 feat after lv1, for no balance gain. But at least those filthy warriors are being kept away from fighting style feats before lv4. No, not those fighting style feats, the other fighting style feats.
